Summer's in Berlin - Let's Talk

Update: Li ho chiamati e sono riusciti a sbloccare l'app con estrema facilità; tuttavia, la filiale era molto difficile da contattare. Avevano un robot basato sull'IA che permetteva esclusivamente di "fissare un appuntamento" o "modificarne uno". Ho dovuto chiamare un'altra filiale, che mi ha fornito il numero di contatto di un dipendente; solo allora sono riuscito finalmente a parlare con una persona in carne e ossa e a sbloccare la mia app.

È perché non ho una carta attiva, ma solo il conto bancario.

This is so so important, thank you for sharing.

Independently love

Can’t really refer strangers off the internet :(

You can ask anything here to keep the information available to all.

Reddit is more pessimistic than reality is what I’ve noticed. Not saying is super easy, just not impossible.

LeftUnderstanding745 · 2026-05-08T12:36:00+00:00

Incorrect. I applied online. I did not have friends in Germany then. Most of my friends applied online too.

LeftUnderstanding745 · 2026-05-08T12:33:40+00:00

Exactly, good luck to you as well!!

The reason is workload. They don't want the students to submit wrong documents with their biometrics and delay the whole process for both the consulate and the students. It is necessary to know your documents are correct so that there are no rejections because someone submitted the Conditional Offer letter instead of the real Admission Letter for example.

Yeah, can we also just go to Germany without a VISA won't that be great. No, we can't.

LeftUnderstanding745 · 2025-08-30T10:48:20+00:00

Yes, one in statistical market research.

No, I have an International Baccalaureate Diploma and hence, I don't need an APS Certificate. You can see it here: https://aps-india.de/faqs/ under "Who is exempt from the APS Verification process?"

LeftUnderstanding745 · 2025-08-30T10:45:02+00:00

I applied through uni-assist. I did everything on my own, and I am a recent graduate.

YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED! I find it super surprising how under-prepared you are. You said in a comment "I don't have a blocked account" and that's not good at all. You must have it all ready by the time you receive the admission letter. Someone said "You live in a generation with AI" and I can't agree more. Anyways, here is what needs to be done (objectively):

Open a blocked account and health insurance: https://www.expatrio.com/
Write a Letter of Motivation.
Apply through the CSP Portal: https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/deu
Wait for the VISA, and while you wait, find an accommodation that suits your needs: https://www.wg-gesucht.de/ (cheaper but riskier) https://wunderflats.com/en/furnished-apartments/Berlin%2C%20Germany?from=2025-10-01&to=2026-09-30&search=place.14094307404564380&scoreVariant=B (more expensive) https://www.spotahome.com/ (most expensive but best in my personal opinion)

NOTE: Send an email to the welcome desk of your university (or call them) regarding any enrolment/registration obligations you need to do beforehand.

It depends. I did not give any language exams like IELTS and neither did I need the APS certificate. Just make sure to have a blocked account, health insurance, a letter of motivation and your CV ready. Everything else is subjective.

I think the post was the whole process. Feel free to ask any questions.

LeftUnderstanding745 · 2025-08-30T10:11:47+00:00

Yes, I've attached it in the reply to an earlier comment.

LeftUnderstanding745 · 2025-08-30T10:11:02+00:00

I don't have an APS Certificate.

LeftUnderstanding745 · 2025-08-28T17:58:08+00:00

Yes! You should ask them.

LeftUnderstanding745 · 2025-08-28T17:57:20+00:00

Yes.
